As usual, we begin the show with a look at the latest news with a bit of snark and some outrage. Then we're going to change direction. In 1990, I joined KLOS in Los Angeles as producer of the Mark & Brian Show. For the next four years, I worked with Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps as their producer, helping propel the show to #1 in Los Angeles. It was the most fun I've had in a job, and also the most challenging. Today, I get to finally properly congratulate Mark Thompson for being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, and to reconnect with one of the most important people in my professional life.

It's a busy day on the show with two guests. We'll begin the hour with Cory Doctorow, an author, journalist and activist is a fascinating man who could probably fill many hours of programming. But we'll talk about his work on digital media and copyright filters and YouTube, oh my. I hope it'll all make sense once we start talking. And the, as it's Thursday, Howie Klein will be here too, talking politics and the frightening reality that is our situation today.
